Abstract

In Chapter 10, Clough, Goodale, Hall and Stevenson discuss techniques to support information access to digital cultural heritage collections and, in particular, helping users explore and use the information they contain. They focus on a particular system called ‘PATHS’ – Personalised Access To cultural Heritage Spaces) project, funded under the European Commission’s FP7 programme – that aims to support multiple user groups with varying degrees of domain knowledge through the provision of state-of-the-art functionalities, such as recommendations and visualizations.
